Who gives a shit about "unwritten rules"? He's a comedian, and a political one at that. If anyone was suprised he would take potshots at the president, they must not have seen his show before.

I don't see what the big deal is. Someone didn't bend down and fellate the president. Big whoop. These big, lavish types of parties are a joke anyways, and a waste of tax-payer money.

I don't think taxpayers pay for these particular soirees. And the President appears out of courtesy.

Regardless, if the man can't take a little humorous criticism, I think he's better fit for a lower-pressre job. I didn't watch the video (goddamn dial-up), but I would guarantee this didn't phase Bush at all. People need to chill out and realize humor, even depreciating humor, is a good thing. I have a feeling the Bush fans were far more angry than Bush was.

Redstorm, my friend, do you have any idea what this occasion is? They are supposed to make fun of themselves. And Bush did. He took the stage and made fun of himself. Colbert seemed to not understand, which is why even a room full of Bush haters didn't think he was funny. Because he was inappropriate. Go to the link I can't seem to quote from and read it. It's a very excellent blog in general anyway. My favorite, in fact.

I must say, I dont hate Bush (nor do I like him) and I thought it was very amusing. People in the audience were just shocked which is why they werent laughing.

If you're someone who takes a principled opposition to the current president and what he stands for, making that point heard is a damn sight more important than a room full of people thinking you're being innapropriate. Regardless of whether or not you agree with Colbert, I would expect people to realise that when a person believes someone is seriously harming the country they govern and is indirectly responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of people, that person will take any platform they can to voice those views and ask the public, or indeed the press, to examine their own views and loyalties, and reassess what is important.

It's kind of like when Michael Moore recieved an Oscar, and was clapped on to the stage. He then made some kind of anti-war statement, and was booed, and critized for "politicising" the event. He was being recognised for a body of work that was, in part, concerned with being opposed to the Iraq war, so of course he would use a public platform to give additional exposure to those views.

Similarly, Colbert's current work is entirely anti-bush and anti-press cowardice, so, of course, he used a public platform to express those views, because he believed them to be more important than him looking a bit of a fool, or a bit "innapropriate".

Bravo to him, I say.

Big props to Stephen Colbert. It was very well done. He really gave it to Bush and the conservative media as well.

They're not conservative in my opinion. They're just ingratiated to the status quo.

If Adolf Hitler or Osama Bin Laden were president they would be clapping politely and chuckleing graciously at their adorable little jokes about incinerating jews and beheading infadels.

I think Colbert went over the line. He basically hurt Bush's feelings

I despise Bush as much as the next man, but something in me felt sorry for him while Colbert was taking shots at him.

Bush is completely ignorant, but the video shows that he can still laugh at his follies, and that lightheartedness is only allowed with accompanied strength.

Colbert didn't do anything shocking either, in fact he did the exact same thing that he was expected to. Comedy Central was the reason that Kerry's ratings were so high, humour, and especially satire has an immense effect on the opinion of the masses. Did they expect him to go on stage and tell a bunch of cheesy republican jokes that would only be laughed at out of pity and out of the phony politeness of the nature of this kind of party?

He was invited specifically for his radical views, (or more correctly put, say what everyone is already thinking but is afraid to say) and that's what he gave. No surprise there!

:shrug:
